If this had anything to do with the flood, I wonder why Noah didn’t have any dinosaurs on board?

.
He must have had a considerable number, but they could have been eggs.

If they were not on board, they would not have been so prevalent in the literature of the early and middle ages.

Noah didn't like big reptiles plus they kept trying to eat him.

No, actually I'm not talking about Noah's flood, but an earlier flood, the Genesis Chapter 1 account of the earth covered with water before God began his (re)creation in Genesis Chapter 1.

There are other questions like the enormous size of the pre-flood plant life.

One theory is that the atmospheric pressure was as much as three times higher due to a protective layer which held a layer of frozen water in the upper atmosphere.

That environment would be like a hyperbaric chamber, which would increase both O2 and CO2.

After the flood, the atmospheric pressure is reduced, growth of both plant and animal life is stunted.

Even if there were dinos on the ark, all the large species would have a tough time surviving.
